The present disclosure relates to a user authentication method for construction equipment, capable of preventing theft of construction equipment. The user authentication method for construction equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a user authentication method for construction equipment includes: a user information registration step for registering a user identification information provided from a user device; a digital key issuance step for, upon request for use of the construction equipment from the user device, generating a digital key corresponding to the construction equipment and transmitting the generated digital key to the user device; and an equipment authentication step for allowing the use of the construction equipment when the user device having receive the digital key completes authentication of the identification information through the digital key.

A work vehicle including an operator cab, an immobilizer system including an immobilizer antenna module, and an immobilizer antenna mounting having a surface. The immobilizer antenna mounting includes at least one locating feature configured for orienting the immobilizer antenna module.

A work machine comprising a security system for deterring theft is disclosed. The work machine comprises a frame, a battery, a ground engaging element supporting the frame; and a security system configured to activate an at least one anti-theft deterrent when an unauthorized person is detected in a detection zone around the work machine.

In some examples, a system receives sensor data from a sensor of a transport chassis configured to carry a cargo transportation unit (CTU), and determines, based on the sensor data and a profile learned based on past data, whether the transport chassis is loaded with a CTU or cargo.

An anti-theft system for a working machine, includes a communication device disposed on the working machine, the communication device having a first communicator, a mobile terminal having a storage to store authentication information, and a second communicator, and a control device disposed on the working machine, the control device having an authentication processor to execute an authentication processing that determines whether to provide a permission of driving a driving portion of the working machine based on the authentication information. The first communicator sends a beacon to the mobile terminal before the authentication processing of the authentication processor is executed. The second communicator sends the authentication information to the communication device after receiving the beacon, the authentication information being stored by the storage. The authentication processor executes the authentication processing, based on the authentication information received, after the communication device receives the authentication information.

An anti-theft device of an operational vehicle, in which an operation of cancelling an anti-theft mode is simply and easily performed, is provided. The anti-theft device includes: a travel regulation unit (70) which maintains, when the anti-theft mode is set, the operational vehicle (1) in a state where the operational vehicle (1) cannot travel; and a wireless operation terminal (80) which wirelessly operates an operational device (20). When the wireless operation terminal (80) communicates with a controller (70), the wireless operation terminal (80) performs identification authentication, and when the identification authentication between the wireless operation terminal (80) and the controller (70) is successfully performed, the travel regulation unit (70) cancels the anti-theft mode. Since the wireless operation terminal (80) is only made to communicate with the controller (70), and thus the anti-theft mode is cancelled, the operation of cancelling the anti-theft mode is simply and easily performed.

A work vehicle with a travel control device that allows stationary work without disabling a theft-prevention state of the vehicle is provided. The work vehicle includes an engine, a power transmission device having a clutch for transmitting rotational power of the engine to drive wheels, a travel control device for controlling the clutch in the power transmission device and having a start restriction mode for restricting engagement of the clutch when electrical power is turned on, a mobile terminal configured to transmit signals for enabling and disabling the start restriction mode, and a control unit configured to transmit and receive signals to and from the mobile terminal.

A hydraulic excavator (1) includes a wireless authentication device (42) performing wireless authentication with a portable key device (41) and a vehicle body controller (39) allowing or prohibiting start of the engine (15) on the basis of authentication by the wireless authentication device (42) and an operation of a power switch (12). The wireless authentication device (42) transmits a request signal within an authenticable range and performs authentication when it receives an ID code for authentication replied from the portable key device (41) on the basis of the transmitted request signal. The vehicle body controller (39) allows start of the engine (15) by the power switch (12) when a gate lock lever (13) is switched to a lock position and the wireless authentication device (42) performs authentication by the portable key device (41).

An activation system for a work machine includes a communication unit, a presentation unit, and a determination unit. The work machine includes a power source and an additional function unit that realizes a predetermined additional function. The communication unit receives confirmation history information indicating an operator who has confirmed a precaution related to the predetermined additional function from a server device. The a presentation unit presents the precaution. The determination unit determines whether or not to omit presentation of the precaution based on the confirmation history information.

An operator identification control system and method are disclosed for a work vehicle having a cab, a work tool and a source of propulsion. The operator identification control system includes a source associated with the operator that actively transmits an operator identification to identify the operator. The operator identification control system also includes at least one controller onboard the work vehicle that receives and processes the operator identification to determine whether the operator is associated with the work vehicle, and based on the determination, enables an operation of the work tool and/or a motion of the work vehicle by the operator.
